Kunigunde was the only daughter of
Welf II, Count of
Altdorf, and
Imiza of Luxembourg. She was named after her mother’s aunt
Cunigunde, who was married to
Emperor Henry II. Her brother was
Welf III (died 1055), the last member of the
Elder House of Welf. Kunigunde married to
Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan,
Luni, and
Tortona. He was the only son of
Albert Azzo I and his wife Adelaide. Kunigunde's dowry included the estate of
Elisina (modern
Solesino) which had formed part of her mother, Imiza’s dowry. Kunigunde and Albert Azzo had one son: •
Welf IV (between 1035 and 1040 – 9 November 1101 in
Paphos). He was named after his uncle,
Welf III, whose property he later inherited. In 1070, Welf IV also succeeded to the duchy of Bavaria, which had once been ruled by his great-great-uncle
Henry V, Duke of Bavaria. == References ==
